The importance of Cellular repair at night

Skin's circadian repair peaks at night, boosting fibroblast activity, lipid production, DNA repair, and collagen/elastin synthesis while barrier permeability aids active penetration. SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E (1% resveratrol, 0.5% baicalin, 1% vitamin E) fortifies overnight antioxidant defences, neutralises free radicals, enhances radiance/firmness, and creates a resilient base for retinol—apply before retinol on dry skin, or alternate nights when building tolerance.

Inflammageing: The Silent Accelerator of Skin Ageing

Chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates skin aging by damaging collagen and impairing barrier function. Targeted skincare with antioxidants and barrier repair, combined with lifestyle changes like better sleep and anti-inflammatory diet, can slow and even reverse these effects. Treatments like LED therapy enhance circulation and reduce inflammation for resilient skin.

Antioxidants & Oxidative Stress

Antioxidants neutralize damaging free radicals caused by UV, pollution, and stress to protect collagen and elastin in skin. Properly formulated vitamin C blends like CE Ferulic and Phloretin CF support firmness and radiance while enhancing treatment outcomes. Consistent antioxidant use is essential for skin resilience and environmental defense.

What “Secretory” Means in Skin Science

'Secretory' refers to the process by which cells release chemical messengers into their environment. In skin science, senescent cells secrete inflammatory molecules (SASP) that contribute to oxidative stress and ageing. Managing this secretory activity through antioxidants, nutrition, and lifestyle supports healthier skin and slows inflammageing.

Senescence and “Zombie Cells”: The Science of Ageing and Inflammation

Senescent 'zombie' cells are damaged cells that stop dividing but linger, releasing inflammatory molecules that accelerate skin and tissue ageing. Learn about anti-senescence pathways including antioxidants, mitochondrial support, and lifestyle practices that restore youthful repair and reduce chronic inflammation.

Cell Communication and the Language of Healthy Skin

Healthy skin relies on clear cellular communication, an intricate network of chemical, electrical, and direct signals coordinating renewal and repair. When signaling is disrupted by inflammation, oxidative stress, or stress hormones, skin barrier weakens and ageing accelerates. Discover how targeted treatments and nutrition restore this vital dialogue for vibrant skin.

How does skin change over the years?

Skin is a living organ and undergoes significant changes during a person’s lifetime: from the delicate skin of a new-born baby, through the teenage years when some are acne-prone, to the wrinkles of later life. Each stage has its own demands and skin care should reflect these changing needs. Choosing appropriate products to cleanse, protect, nourish and repair skin at each of these stages will help to keep it healthy and ensure that your skin looks and feels its natural best, whatever your age. How is skin different at each age and stage?
